Clinical trials for updated coronavirus vaccine begin - How many times will we do it?

The professor of Pulmonology, Theodoros Vasilakopoulos, spoke to the “Society Hour MEGA” about the course of the coronavirus pandemic and the vaccines, against the background of the slight relaxation of the measures from today.

“February will be a better month. “The pandemic has taken a” descent “, the cases have decreased, due to the mini lockdown we did due to the weather conditions these days, things went even better,” said Mr. Vasilakopoulos initially.

Is the pandemic coming to an end?

“Getting the coronavirus out of our lives is difficult and almost impossible, the most probable and good scenario is to learn to live with it, in such a way that we do not have so many deaths, that we do not close ourselves as a society and that we are not deprived of our daily habits. There is, however, hope for a combination of reasons. In a few months, we will have vaccines for all the inhabitants of the planet, and vaccination chains must be organized and, of course, the world must be vaccinated. “This will reduce the creation of new executives,” he added.

According to him, clinical trials for the updated Pfizer vaccine began last week. “Most likely we will do it once a year,” revealed Mr. Vasilakopoulos.

Opening of schools with… blankets

Regarding the problem that arises in schools regarding the heating and at the same time the ventilation of the classrooms, Mr. Vasilakopoulos mentioned, among other things:

“With mass vaccination of children and better heating. Schools must have heating. It is one thing to turn on the heating and another to refresh the air. All children have the opportunity to be vaccinated. In addition, science will advance and scientists are already looking for new air filters that will reduce diseases not only of the coronavirus, but also other respiratory diseases.

Micron and sub-variants

Referring to the possibility of new variants, he claimed that it is easy for someone to get sick again with another coronavirus strain. “With so much spread, people are less afraid of Omicron disease because it has mild symptoms. However, we have (in Greece) more than 300,000 people over the age of 60 who are unvaccinated and this creates a problem for the course of the pandemic “, added the professor of Pulmonology.
